Yo Mi Homies

since i have had this fooking Broad band service i have had nothing but fooking trouble with fooking virus's it's driving me loopy

anyway, Ish fair play to him has sorted a good few out ..... and we have spent a couple of hours tyring to sort it out

I have got Norton A.V. and a Sygate fire wall and the little bastards still are getting through somehow .


i have got this one that pops up and say that my p.c is shutting down and it does

i done a scan with AD-aware 6.0 and it found another 50 virus or something new ..... i tick them all and it has got rid of some

i don't know the names of the virus but some are SPY BOT...and others are TROJ blazefinda

TROJ DOS

DOS.AGOBOT

LSERV.EXE

VIDEONS 32.EXE

SYSTEM 32

SBCU.EXE


the best one is the lserv 32 that give sme about 50 sec internet time before it shuts down......

if i don't sort this out i will fix the virus with a lump hammer and break them in to tiny pieces

Don't know if any of you lot have had any since going on broad band

i never ever got a virus on 56k dial up and 4 yrs of owning a p.c.

any tips anyone .....and don't say , "don't put black polish on brown shoes"

cheers in advance

Saffy

i had Zone alarm and that had loads of errors thats what might of caused my p.c to get theses viruses i have only just used sygate

Stu.H

the rpc shutdown virus is msblast - i take it u are on xp or 2000

format the fooker, use xp service pack 2 and norton internet security 2004 and u wont get owt else

EIL132

Norton is crap with Windows xp. Known issues. Try McAfee or one of the others. Use Spybot aswell to pick up the stuff adaware doesn't

Eli

i have loaded Mcafee and that sorted a few out but not all

EIL132

The prob you have is if you have the W32/Zafi.b@MM worm it disables Norton. Had HUGE problems and was advised to change, all good since

Hofajoab

my internet service provider is ZEN and even without firewalls/virus scanners etc i had no problems.. ZEN filter them before they get to me apparently

People on BT get them all, all the time! :P

I use ZoneAlarm and McAfee and no probs whatsoever

Ranj

ill show you a few things that we have tryed ....

fixblast.exe

fxsasser.exe.

symantec

McAfee

ad adware

norton

I have even started in safe mode runing scan and they find some and kill them

and then they come back that bastards....

i have even gone in to hard drive C windows.system32 to take them out and yet they still come back ......it's doing my fooking head in really bad

Marco

Dan B

To stop the auto-shutdown, do:

Start Menu -> Run -> shutdown -a

I'm using: router (with firewall & filtering rules), serving a static-NAT network with daily-updated Mcafee on all machines......not received a virus for a very long time, the ones that spread by connection can't connect directly to any machine on the network as they don't have publically-accessible IP addresses, any email-viruses are caught and removed by either the mailserver at the ISP they go through, or if they do get to me, auto-deleted by the AV software.

yes mi dread

Dan B

Yeah, Zen have decent corporate anti-virus software running on their main mailserver-cluster which checks all emails going through it, and they also block ports 135-139 from non-Zen connections (quite a major source of virus-infection, although newer viruses have spread to other ports now)

no mate

CabrioTurbo

i use norton anti virus corporate edition at work.. i find it brilliant for virus's but it doesnt work AT ALL against spyware adware or popups..

EIL132

You may have to bite the bullet and reinstall. When they've been allowed to run riot you never know what's happened. Whatever you do don't go back to Norton.

and i get this one

C:\sbcu.exe al the fooking time

Dilly

You need to do a windows update if they keep coming back

rumba

Hardeep_Singh

marco pargi do a windows update mate that will sort your problems out!

rumba

don't put brown polish on black shoes

Stu.H

i full format the bitch every month!!

gets rid of all the shit and temp internet files

dont worry, porn is on another partition

rumba

i aint formatted mine in about 2 years ......

Dan B

I need to format mine soon, to sort out these partitions (I've got two physical drives, 180Gb & 120Gb, each with three partitions each - silly idea) and Partition Magic refuses to read all 6 partitions, and bombs out......may try disabling one, to see if it works then.

RANJ

reformatting is for lazy peeps

try to find source of prob and fix it

Stu.H

reformatting does

Fastmaul

Marco breeedrin..
you want to fix 90% of your computer problems???
There is only one real answer that most wont agree to but it's true.
get a Macintosh!! you ever notice when all these new worms
and viruses are anounced they never mention about it attacking a Mac! Because
Windozz is crap mate, it's cheap crap sold on every computer makers that sell everything from kettles to tv's Once you go Mac, you never go Back!

RSrussell

thanks for the help peeps

i'm going to leave it for now untill the weekend and i'll get Ish Gates to sort it out

Ranj

thanks for having ago last night fair play to ya mate ...if Ish Gates can't sort it i'll bring it around your house asap

Erik ... i thought Mac went busted/liquidation



Tiff

i will get my hair cut but you will have to lose some weight first ok Blooby

Marco

Billabong

Marco, won't a defrag' fix it??

If I was closer, I'd sort it out for ya dude, but I have confidence in Ish Gates

You deffo need to do a Windows update from what you are saying, and scrap your shonky av/fw software and get some proper stuff on the job....

Fastmaul, MAC's are good for one thing........

And just for you as you mentioned kettles etc.

coRdiS

i use avg http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php

dont use a firewall after all the problems zone alarm caused

~Vix~

my comp is shit since i've had broadband...running windows XP pro & it takes ages to log onto the net!

we keep getting loadsa viruses cos any firewall we did have stopped my bros comp from being able to be online the same time as the others, so now we just have to reformat it loads & run adaware all the time!

weegaz22

to stop the pc from shutting down put the windows firewall on, then do all the critical and security updates on xp

Ish

marco have you heard of this antivirus prog.....petrol & match 2004....use that on your pc and i promise you will NEVER get a virus again

i did try and fix his pc over msn remote asisstance but it was taking too long!

the main reson marco is getting viruses is that he has NO windows updates installed. not even SP1 and his firewall was disabled due to an error with it.

don't worry mcguiness i will sort it out on the weekend for ya
